Sunset in the Welsh hills
WILLIAMS, Christopher
© Amgueddfa Cymru - Museum Wales
In this mountain scene, a favourite subject of Welsh artist Christopher Williams, the landscape is bathed in strong golden light as the sun goes down at the end of the day. The craggy mountain peaks loom in the distance as a well-trodden path leads us off the left-hand edge of the painting, tempting us to come and explore their rocky terrain. This calm and serene scene perfectly captures the artist’s love for the beautiful and rugged landscapes of Wales.
